1. Different Types of Relationships
Family, Friends, Casual and Romantic

2. Family
Family is defined as a domestic group of people with some degree of kinship – whether through blood, marriage, or adoption. 
Ideally each child is nurtured, respected, and grows up to care for others and develop strong and healthy relationships.
"Family" includes your siblings and parents, as well as relatives who you may not interact with every day, such as your cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and stepparents. 
Having healthy relationships with your family members is both important and difficult. 

3. It is never too late to begin the process of improving family relationships – even if they are already of good quality – by developing some simple skills. Whereas in other situations you can step back and assess the relationship, it is often hard to do this with your family. Your family may be a constant presence in your life, so when an argument or issue arises, it may seem impossible to handle. 
Communication is key to resolving conflict. While it may seem that your siblings are constantly present to annoy you or boss you around, they are also there to communicate.  Use your family's presence to your advantage –communicate with each other, develop ways to value boundaries, and build trust and respect.

4. Friends
A friend is defined as a person you know well and regard with affection, trust, and respect. 
As you get older, some of your friendships will start to change, and some may grow deeper. You might also begin to know many more people, although not all of them will be your close friends.  
Peer pressure can play a major role in friendships. If someone is vulnerable to peer pressure, the relationship is not balanced. 
Remember that you have the right and duty to stand up for what you believe is right. Express yourself with your friends. You have the freedom to say "no" if you disagree. If you are scared of losing a friendship by standing up for what you believe is right, then you are in an unstable friendship. 

5. True friends listen to and respect each other's opinions
True friends listen to and respect each other's opinions. Standing up for yourself may cause tension in a friendship, but it is OK as long as you have the skills to handle the situation. Remember to communicate your ideas while respecting your friend's opinion. By mutually supporting each other, whether or not you agree, your friendship will be more stable.
Below are tips for keeping friends.
Be supportive.
Be encouraging.
Do not tease or belittle.
Cooperate.
Compromise.
Be considerate.
Talk openly about disagreements.
Apologize when you hurt them.

6. Casual
Casual relationships are formed with people you encounter every day – anyone who is not a friend, romantic relationship, or family member. 
Well, all relationships start with a casual relationship. An unhealthy casual relationship without mutual respect will lead to a friendship or an intimate relationship without respect. The precedents that you set at the beginning of a casual relationship do not disappear.
It is important to maintain healthy relationships with the professionals who serve you. They are probably people you look up to for their skills and education, and by showing your respect and learning from these individuals, you will develop important skills that you can apply in your other relationships.  

7. By respecting the professionals you interact with, you not only benefit yourself, but you also help your other relationships. By learning professional communication skills and trusting those with more experience, you learn to be a balanced member of an intimate relationship.
Casual acquaintances are simple relationships that are easily maintained. When you pass someone you recognize on the street, by simply respecting the person and smiling or saying hello, you are communicating in an appropriate manner. 
By portraying yourself in public as polite and friendly, people will be drawn to you and you will likely have healthier intimate and romantic relationships.

8. Intimate
An intimate relationship is one in which you can truly be yourself with someone who you respect and are respected by in return. It is an emotional connection that can also be physical. It does not have to be in the context of a romantic or sexual relationship.
Many people think that "intimate" means being physically intimate, such as being in a sexual relationships. However, an intimate relationship can be with anyone who you are really close to and with whom you can be completely open and honest. Intimate relationships afford you the opportunity to grow as an individual.

9. Romantic
Now let's talk about romantic relationships, which, unfortunately, are not always intimate relationships. In a healthy romantic relationship, both partners respect each other and have their own identity. 
Each partner is an entire individual, not simply part of a couple. Just as peer pressure can negatively impact a friendship, partners can overpower each other and create instability in a romantic relationship. 
As preteens become teenagers and enter adolescence, new kinds of relationships emerge. Friends may find themselves attracted to each other in ways they were not before, and they may become closer, or grow apart. Either way, relationships are bound to change during the teenage years, especially in the area of romance.
